Background

On May 15, 2013 Hollaback! Ottawa hosted an open forum meeting on the issue of safety on transit. This was an issue that had been in the media for the past few weeks, so the media was following up on our work

Reason

Metro wanted to plug the event for us. Which is great, of course!

Comment

It was great to see this published the day before the event in the Metro, which is a free, daily paper that targets mostly commuters and transit riders.

Outcome

They used an archive photo of me that was an outtake from a previous session. I am rocking some intense bitch face. I hope that helped to bring people out to the event!
